Ensemble will hold its annual 2026 Beyond Extraordinary Experiences Event in China, Aug. 18-26, with the trip beginning in Beijing, then traveling onward to Chongqing, where participants will embark on a Yangtze river cruise with its new partner, Century Cruises, culminating in Shanghai.
“This experience brings together a carefully selected group of our most accomplished members and partners for meaningful recognition and connection,” said Ensemble President Michael Johnson.
“The themes associated with the Year of the Fire Horse – confidence , decisive action, and forward momentum – align closely with the achievements of this group,” he added. “Beyond is far more than a traditional recognition trip; it is intentional time with the members and partners who are driving results and setting the pace for our network.”
Past Beyond trips include a trip to Tuscany, which featured a private performance by Andrea Bocelli amid his 20th-anniversary hometown concert in 2025, and a getaway to France, where participants traveled to Paris and received VIP access to the French Open at Roland Garros.
“Becoming a preferred partner of Ensemble marked an important milestone for Century Cruises,” said David Fredericks, president and general manager of Century Cruises. “Having the opportunity to host Beyond Extraordinary Experiences 2026 reflects our long-held commitment to building meaningful connections between East and West through hospitality.”
